NFL network has been giving DangeRuss a lot of love. It may be east coast biased media but they do love Russ. Being from the East myself, I plan on watching since I have to be up early tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up.

I remember during the Whiner Sunday night game that Al & Chris were giving the team, Russ, and Seattle in general a lotta love. We're starting to turn some heads, and with the heated rivalry with the Whiners (win or lose SB) that is sure to follow, I suspect a lot more coverage from our little corner of the world.

It was refreshing hearing that, and how gave answers that didn't sound like they were pulled out of a can. Very candid and confident. The really cool thing is how Russ knows he deserves the accolades but remains humble, and just genually happy to be here.

"...Seattle has become the capital city of the New NFL" - Kip Earlywine Remembering "The Radish"...

(CBS) – Russell Wilson has been silencing doubters since he first picked up a football.

At 5-foot-11, he’s seemingly too short to be a successful college – let alone NFL – quarterback.

But when Bears new head coach Marc Trestman was the offensive coordinator at N.C. State, he knew Wilson could play at an elite level.

“(Trestman) was the guy that said, ‘This guy can play.’ I already knew that,” Wilson told The McNeil and Spiegel Show. “I knew my ability, but he came up to me and he was the coach that said, ‘This guy can play. We need to offer this guy (a scholarship) right now.’ So, N.C. State offered me (a scholarship) right on the spot. Coach Trestman knew that I had the ability. I have a lot of respect for coach Trestman. I talk to him probably once a week, maybe a little bit less than that. I talk to him a good amount. We’ve always kept in touch over the years.
